Katju bats for Uniform Civil Code, spewed venom against Sharia law

New Delhi: Press Council of India Chairperson Justice Markandey Katju supported the Uniform Civil Code.

In his engagement with people on the micro-blogging website Twitter, Katju said that the “Sharia is humbug. It is a feudal, barbaric law, hvg no place in the modern world. It deserves to be abolished. All modern countries have UCC.”
